thanks bro I left it crunching last night and was impressed compared to the sempron i ran before.speaking of the sempron i am going to test it later to see if it still works if so i am going to give it some voltage and see what it can do

Why dont you throw the Sempron my way. I know my brother would appreciate it. Also with an L5 mod i might be able to get more out of it.

Oh yeah that is a handy little site. A bit of a rough Engrish translation going on there, but I'm understanding most of. Pretty serious. haven't got around to flashing my BIOS yet because it seems my floppy controller on the mobo is shagged! who ever heard of that?

Just wish i could push mine further, I think its cooling on the mobo limiting the OC, as the Ram is designed to run at 500MHz, CPU is staying cool but i guess the NB/SB and VRMs cant stay cool enough, Also i have to run a Mod Bios otherwise it will be read as an unknown CPU at 2200MHz.

Yah I was moreless just kidding around when I said it. I would be surprised if the Barton rig goes over 7.

Yea i know Indeed i would be surprised if it hits over 7 also, i would have to put a HDD back into it, install a OS and also put some RAM back in to. If i have time ill do some OCing to I wont be able to do the tests for awhile, but ill try to get them done asap

I will consider sending it your way. I plan on getting in crunching if i can get a board for it. BTW it maxes alittle over 2.3ghz@1.75v thats 100mhz more then i got with my old board

EDIT:does anyone know of a good cooler for Socket A that you can still find? I'm thinking of throwing together a small WC loop when i get the money for it but would like to have air.(it does have holes around the socket)

lucky you, my 2500+ M won't budge beyond 2.2GHz, Seems CPU stays cool but i think the System temp is what jumps High, System temp i believe is the Temp Reading for the Chipset/VRMs. Im really unsure why it won't go further than that.

i'll throw my rig in here. I've got an Athlon XP 2400 (2.0ghz) on an MSI KT333 mobo. 1.5GB of pc2100, an MSI GeForce4 Ti 4400 (315/630). Finally updated it with a Sata card and an 80gb sata drive to make it last longer. It got just over 10K marks in 3dmark 01 and i think it managed somewhere in the 4200's on 3dmark 03.

I still have it around after initially building it back in 2002. It run windows 2000 as a base OS with a virtual Win 98SE for some older 2d games. Ran 24/7 for 3 years... went into a closet for a year, ran 24/7 again for another 2 years. Now it runs about 36-48 a week. up until a few weeks ago, it was still using the original 2 20gb segate hdd's.
